Am i doing this right?

I was just out at my ucles farm and noticed some tadpoles in his dam. Having taken some of these tadpoles ages ago i knew wat i was up against. I took 15 tadpoles and put them in a glass jar about 15cm by 20cm. The tadpoles are jjust newborns only about 1cm from tip to tal (even smaller). The frog itself grows up to 3-5cm max. Its brown in colour and hints of black. Wat frog is this?. Oh by the was i live in Australia in nsw around sydney .

Oh ye am i doing the glass jar thing right? 15 of them in that jar with fresh water from my tap and added decloranator. I also added plant scraps from my axolotl tank. Do i need an air stone? I've never used one befor. And finaly What do i feed them. Depending on the live food i may not be able to do that but is fish flakes ok?

Hi Stipe,
Depending on the species of anuran there are a lot of different methods to rear tadpoles and you need to know what lifestyle the tadpoles need (for example in open water species there can be filter feeding, carnivorous, omniverous, and grazing life styles). I hope you are planning on keeping the resulting frogs and not releasing them due to the amount of issues Australia is having with chytrid.

I am sure i have marsh frogs. I think its the striped marsh frog but it could be the spotted. Marsh frogs are Omniverous, right? I feed mine boiled letuc and they seem to eat it fine . I know abit about the life style of the marsh frog. And i know thier tadpoles are used to harsh water conditions living here in aus.

No i am planning on keeping te frogs. Im making a perspex tank and going to start making it later. How long to tadpoles take to metamorph, 6-9 weeks? Anyway to i need to like let it cycle or sumthing??? Or anything else.
